High school students from throughout central Washington were faced with these questions and hundreds more during the 2014 KYVE Apple Bowl, which was taped at Central Washington University over the past week. One area high school was named the champion after a nail-biting final match in the CWU TV studio Friday, March 28.

The Apple Bowl, now in its 34th year, is a single-elimination knowledge contest between high schools from throughout central Washington. The shows will air on KYVE beginning April 23 with the final match to be broadcast May 28.

The questions cover everything from mythical geography and constitutional clauses to palindromes and African animals. The students face lightning rounds, toss-up bonus questions and tiebreakers.

The winning team receives $1,500 and will have its school added to the Apple Bowl trophy. CWU tuition waivers also are up for grabs.
